📣📚 Did you know that school suspensions have hit record levels? According to a recent report from the Centre for Social Justice, the numbers are staggering. It's a stark reminder of the challenges our education system faces today. But amidst these challenges, there's hope, and that's where The Red Hen Project comes in. 🌱 At the Red Hen Project, we believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. We understand that behind every suspension statistic lies a story—an opportunity for intervention and support. 🤝 Our programs focus on early intervention and holistic support for at-risk children, aiming to address the root causes of behaviour that can lead to suspensions. We're equipping families with the tools they need to help their child succeed both in and out of the classroom. 🌈 By supporting programs like ours, businesses can help reduce suspension rates. We're transforming lives and building a brighter future for our communities. Together, we can break the exclusion cycle and unlock every child's potential. 💬 We invite you to join us in this important work. Let's create a world where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Together, we can make a difference. #EducationMatters #Empowerment #RedHenProject #SocialJustice https://lnkd.in/eT2F8R5i

Suspensions and exclusions from schools in England increased by more than a fifth in the past year, according to analysis of live attendance data in a new report that raises concerns about children being shifted out of mainstream education into alternative provision. Research by the Institute for Public Policy Research found cash-strapped councils are spending increasing amounts on educating pupils outside the mainstream schools “where quality and safety is less guaranteed”. Why do you think exclusions have risen and what could be done to reduce them? https://bit.ly/3AWKpwq #ReedEducation #Education #Exclusions #MainstreamEducation #BehaviourManagement

New research from National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) shows the ongoing impact of the cost-of-living crisis on schools, particularly in disadvantaged areas. We agree that free school meal eligibility must be widened to cover those in households eligible for Universal Credit in order to take hunger out of the classroom and narrow the attainment gap ⤵ https://lnkd.in/e5-Zeymv

School suspensions hitting record levels will be a surprise to very few people. Increased SEMH needs in mainstream school and an ever shrinking pool of staff and financial support is creating the perfect storm which is not going to end soon. Our programmes considerably reduce numbers of suspensions and exclusions but we do not have a magic wand 🪄 We operate with reduced student cohorts and a more focused curriculum that the students engage in, both of which would be any teachers and support staffs dream. We help schools and academies to set up their own internal Alternative Education Provisions which offer them many benefits compared to external AEP. Internal AEP is: More inclusive Cost effective More sustainable Less safeguarding concerns Greater educational results Contact me to see how we can help you set up your own AEP. #suspensions #alternativeeducationprovision

New findings by the Centre for Young Lives and Child of the North revealed that more than 40% of children eligible for free school meals in England were not "school ready" before starting reception in 2022/23. With developmental delays on the rise since Covid-19, these figures stress the urgent need for improved early years support. Read more: #ChildrenEducation #SchoolReadiness https://lnkd.in/e6jeiVmd

Alarming statistics released today on exclusions and suspensions show unprecedented levels of both for 22/23. Once again it highlights that the most disadvantaged in our schools are disproportionately impacted by exclusion., those with SEN, accessing FSM and pupil premium. Whilst the pandemic undoubtedly has had a pervasive impact on our young people and on the school workforce the trajectory was already rising before Covid. The response to increased levels of challenging behaviour has seen a rise in increasingly strict, high control regimes, this has not had the effect of reducing exclusions or indeed improving standards of behaviour, particularly for those most vulnerable students. If we continue to do what we have always done, we will continue to see rising exclusion rates coupled with poor attendance and escalating numbers of parents electively home educating rather than continue to bear witness to the impact of the school environment on their child's mental health and well being. Schools require increased funding, support and training to create the environments and provision that will inclusively support ALL of our children to succeed in education. We implore the new Government and Bridget Phillipson to take action urgently to reduce the current crisis. https://lnkd.in/e_FcFjY4

England has seen record numbers of school suspensions and exclusions in a single school year, Department for Education figures show. The 790,000 suspensions in 2022/23 - almost one for every 10 pupils - is 36% higher than the previous record of 578,000 in 2021/22. When children as young as five and six are being excluded, it’s a clear sign that something is seriously wrong in our education system. The education system is failing to meet the needs of children with additional needs. We need to support teachers and schools, as well as children and families, so that children can be supported and get the extra help they need. #Education #SchoolExclusions #SupportOurTeachers #InclusiveEducation
